We are now making rapid progress
towards spring. and the man OF woman
who has trees 90 plant should improve
the first opportunity. when the ground
Is dry enough % work, to do so.
A friend, who grows peaches very
successfully, expresses as his opinion
that there IS nothing gained by setting
out peaches in the fall, though il may
be better for other trees. Now Is the
time, il not already done, TO trim the
orchard. IL is not advisable 70 cut
large limbs of after the first OF April !;
that Is, to cut of wood that Is several
wears old; but wood Of the past years
growth can be cut without injury dur
ing the spring. II win be better 10 do
all the trimming previous 70 April and
before the sap commences 10 flow freely.
II Is better to trim in the fall than 10
defer until February; for, as soon as
the sap has gone down and the wood Of
last years growth has matured, il will
do 20 trim trees.
The science of trimming Is to cut
back young limbs about two-thiris Of
their growth the past year, and 20 cut
OF close all unnecessary growth. Keep
the top of the tree open enough to let
in sun and air to q healthy extent, and
balance the tree with the shears. II
you see 4 tree growing more on one
side than another, trim the most on
the overgrown side. and in few years
you viii have a well balanced tree.
Peaches should be trimmed about the
middle Of August, al which time the
wood has made its proper growth.
